Thinking too Hard?????

      Thinking too Hard

          When someone tells you that you are doing something wrong and you believe that you are doing it right does that affect the way you think in proceeding with the process?... this concept is called Cognitive Dissonance Theory. Sometimes an individual may believe that they are a good person, but when someone lets them know that they are a bad person that individuals mind start thinking and becoming confused, because that individual believed they were a good individual, but someone else thoughts otherwise. Thus becoming unsure of their morals and beliefs.
          This can have a damaging effect because it can alter your personality, but also has a positive effect as well. It is possible that you think that you are a bad person, but when someone tells you that you are a good person it can motivate you and lift up your personality. Which is why it can impact you in a positive way.
